Pitirim Sorokin

Finding fellow travelers in erstwhile respectable media manage to disseminate, directly and indirectly, their absurd and dirty bleedings and pagan ideas.

It seems strange to me that we credit, should say that our mass media credit the unestablished generalities of a few so-called experts, but ignore the overwhelming testimony of the true experts like so many of your previously testifying witnesses, of men like Pitirim Sorokin, J. Edgar Hoover.

One might say, even the laws, the words of God himself are ignored.

So now you see that I claim to speak for most of our American citizens.

And at this point, you won't be surprised to think I'm, I'm gonna bring in one of my favorite Russian thinkers.

It's Pitirim Sorokin, who, uh, Harvard kind of accidentally hired to start their sociology department.

He, he is someone who has a great deal of insight on this.

And, uh, just about a century ago, he made very clear that every civilization faces two great challenges that are prior to everything else.

So Pitirim Sorokin, just a- as a Russian, and by the way, he, he was more than once under a death sentence by the Bolsheviks.

He understood moral evil.

But he said, look, if you're talking about what makes civilization possible, he says there are two big things that are absolutely prerequisite.

Now, you'll notice he doesn't say girls into women.

We're not free to do whatever we want to do with marriage.

In 1948, the historian sociologist Pitirim Sorokin of Harvard University expressed his great fear of the imminent destruction of American culture.

And the reason he was so concerned in 1948, he said, was this, that the family unit is the stabilizing force of every nation and of every society.

But the divorce rate had escalated from 10% in 1910 to 25% by 1948.
